CeeDee Lamb’s months-long holdout with the Dallas Cowboys is over, and the All-Pro receiver is a close second to Justin Jefferson as the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.
Lamb and the Cowboys agreed Monday on a US$136-million, four-year contract with US$100-million guaranteed, three people familiar with the deal told the Associated Press.
The people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the extension hasn’t been announced.
Lamb missed all of training camp in California after also skipping mandatory minicamp in the off-season. The June absence at the club’s headquarters started a day after Jefferson agreed with the Minnesota Vikings on a US$140-million contract that made him the highest-paid non-QB.
The average annual value of Lamb’s extension is US$34-million, which is roughly twice what the 25-year-old former Oklahoma standout will make in the final year of his rookie deal this season.
